Tang Rong accompanied Tao Yiran back to his parents' home. As a new son-in-law, he not only did not receive any gifts from his father-in-law, but was instead scolded and kept dwelling on what happened yesterday.
Mrs. Tao also kept muttering about how wronged Tao Yiran was and asked him to do this and that in the future.
He was already feeling uncomfortable when he saw Tang Mo's rosy face before he even entered the door. He was even more angry. He tried to calm himself down before he smiled, "Uncle Xin thinks highly of my second brother. I am so lucky."
Without waiting for Tang Mo to continue his pride, he took Tao Yiran's hand and walked in. Wang, who had come rushing over, greeted the two of them warmly. Seeing that Tang Mo had received so many gifts from his father-in-law, she was delighted and raised her voice to order, "Hurry up and send a few more people to deliver these things to Qiushiyuan."
"You two should go back and rest. We can have dinner in half an hour."
The two returned to Qiushi Courtyard. Aunt Wang did not rest but was busy ordering people to clean up the storehouse in the courtyard. The Marquis's Mansion was worried that mistakes would be made in a hurry on the wedding day, so they arranged to place Xin An and Tao Yiran's dowry in another courtyard and arranged for people to guard it. They would go and carry all the dowry back tomorrow.
Tang Mo happily counted the money his father-in-law gave him. The more he counted, the happier he felt. Finally, he gave half to Xin An, "Here, this is yours."
Xin An leaned on the beauty couch and said, "Go buy the Qi-nourishing Pills as soon as possible, and bring me one too, so I can boost my energy."
"You still need that thing?"
"Why not?"
The body is young but the mentality is old, shouldn't we make up for it?
Tang Mo put the remaining banknotes in his pocket. In fact, he was not very happy in his heart. He always felt blocked. "After seeing off my father-in-law and mother-in-law, shall we go to the farm in the suburbs to live for two days?"
"Okay."
Xin An agreed without thinking, "I've been wanting to go out for a while, get some fresh air, and stay a few more days before coming back."
Tang Mo came forward and said, "How about taking grandma with you?"
He was still thinking about the old lady's room full of treasures.
Xin An raised his eyes, "Of course."
She is not in a good condition now, and always feels like something bad is going to happen. It is nice to be a young girl in front of the old lady. Maybe the old lady can heal her and make her heart rejuvenate.
Tang Mo turned around and winked at him. Xin An stepped back a little, "Is there something wrong with your eyes?"
Tang Mo said with a smile, "You have lived so many years longer than me, do you still remember what the questions in the imperial examination were?"
Xin An sneered, "Do you think I would care about that?"
"If you want to ask about the things that can be eaten in the backyards of various families, I can pick two to tell you."
Tang Mo was so disappointed that he couldn't make it. "Tell me, what else do you have in your eyes besides that heartless person next door? Is he so good?"
Xin An kicked him directly and said, "Shut up. I'm annoyed just looking at you."
"Tsk, what did you say before?"
Tang Mo touched his chin, "You said I was three points better looking than the girl next door, but now I'm tired of seeing her. You get tired of the old and fall in love with the new very quickly."
Xin An rolled his eyes and was about to speak when he saw Chun Yang carrying a bowl in. He immediately lowered his eyes and pressed his handkerchief to his eyes, "If you can't stand me so much, just strangle me to death."
"You sing again"
"Son-in-law, you bullied the young lady again. Today you said in front of the master that you would treat the young lady well."
Chunyang glared at him fiercely and threatened him, "If you treat the young lady so harshly again, we will go to the Marquis and the master to sue you."
Tang Mo
can't be offended, not at all.
"When did I ever be mean to her? Didn't you see that she was the one plotting against me?"
"The young lady is a beautiful and kind person, how could she plot against you?"
Chun Yang said that Tang Mo's character had already rotted in her eyes.
Tang Mo just felt upset, he stood up and glared at the two of them, "I lost, I'm leaving."
Xin An smiled happily, and Chun Yang sighed, "Young Madam, how can you still laugh?"
How will she live after her marriage was changed and she fell into the hands of the second son who was so stinking?
Xin An took the bird's nest she sent and said, "He really dares to strangle me to death. Don't be afraid, he is just talking."
The family also had dinner together. After dinner, Wang announced that starting from tomorrow, Tao Yiran and Xin An would visit each other morning and evening. Xin An agreed with a smile. Tao Yiran had looked a little unhappy since he appeared, and at this moment, he seemed not to have heard it.
"Sister-in-law?"
Xin An was happy to watch the fun, "Why does sister-in-law look so bad? Are you feeling unwell?"
Everyone's eyes fell on Tao Yiran's face. Tao Yiran was a little flustered. Tang Rong held her hand and said, "Yier, you are not feeling well."
Wang said sympathetically, "In that case, then take a good rest for a day, and don't bother with greetings tomorrow."
Tao Yiran thanked him politely and was soon helped back by Tang Rong.
Xin An and Tang Mo made eye contact, and neither of them was in a hurry to leave. They sat and talked for a while before leaving.
"Go and find out what happened next door."
As soon as they stepped into Qiushi Courtyard, Xin An gave orders. Chunlu's eyes were green with excitement. "I spent a little money to find out that the prince's concubine, Xueyu, is pregnant."
"The prince ordered everyone in Chunhua Court to keep it a secret and not let the news leak out."
Chunlu's eyes softened a lot when she looked at Tang Mo. If the marriage had not been exchanged, it would be her daughter who would have encountered this bad thing now. The prince is not a good guy.
Xin An was a little surprised. This had never happened before. Tang Rong had always valued his reputation and it was impossible for him to let his concubine get pregnant before his wife. In their previous life, Xueyu and Yingyue had never been pregnant.
The wife had just married into the family for three days and the maid was already pregnant. How could the wife put her face?
Tang Mo frowned slightly. He probably didn't expect that the information he got in advance would be biased.
"Since the prince doesn't want to say anything, there's no need for us to say anything now. Chunlu, you should also keep an eye on the people in our yard and don't let anyone shout."
Chunlu nodded in agreement. As soon as she left, Tang Mo approached her and asked, "What's going on? Has this happened before?"
Xin An shook his head, then sighed, "It's normal for the situation to be a little different. Let's wait and see how it develops."
Tang Mo's face was heavy, fearing that he would never be able to turn over in this life. Xin An tapped his leg and said, "While the other side can't take care of you now, the most urgent thing is to strengthen yourself. You need more help. I will tell you a few families later. You can find a way to make friends with them."
"Don't worry about your reputation. None of this matters. Remember, be humble when you see Tang Rong next time. Do what he does and follow his path so that he has no way to go."
Tang Mo thought about this sentence and found it more and more interesting. He went back to the house happily with his hands behind his back.
The next day, Tang Mo went out with the banknotes in his pocket. He was originally going to meet Tang Yong, but now it was more important to curry favor with his father-in-law. He went to the Imperial Medical Bureau and bought the Qi-nourishing Pills, and then bought the most popular Anti-aging Pills in the Imperial Medical Bureau. Then he happily gave it to his mother-in-law. Needless to say, Mrs. Xin was very happy and thought that her cheap son-in-law was very considerate.
Xin Huan also felt that this brother-in-law was very good and easier to get along with than the previous Tang Rong.
